Why do some people think that there has been has there been an increase in reports of deaths in VAERS?
Well, there has been…
Has There Been an Increase in Reports of Deaths in VAERS?
Wait, what?

Yes, there have been many more reports of deaths to VAERS in 2021.
Many more than a typical year.
Many more than a typical year that didn’t include an extra 113 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines being given.
“Reports of all possible associations between vaccines and adverse events (possible side effects) are filed in VAERS. Therefore, VAERS collects data on any adverse event following vaccination, be it coincidental or truly caused by a vaccine. The report of an adverse event to VAERS is not documentation that a vaccine caused the event.”
Guide to Interpreting VAERS Data
Of course, this being VAERS, that doesn’t mean any of those deaths were actually caused by all of those extra vaccines being given.

But the simple fact that the majority of those extra vaccines this year were given to folks who are over age 65 years does give a clue as to why we are seeing more reports of deaths in VAERS.
Mortality rates naturally increase as you get older.

And, in general, that has nothing to do with getting vaccinated and protected.

Importantly, with all of the deaths, no safety signals have been detected in VAERS that might indicate a problem with our COVID-19 vaccines.
So as COVID-19 cases and deaths begin to rise again, understand that our COVID-19 vaccines are safe, with few risks, and are very necessary.
Get vaccinated and protected as soon as you can.
